Introduction
One of the advantage composite materials is the ability of the
material is the strength can be directed in a certain direction that we
want. This is called Tailoring Properties and this is one special
properties of composites as compared to other conventional material.
Beside strong, rigid, and lightweight composites also have high
corrosion resistance and has resilience also to dynamic loads.
Bellow are several types of processes Tailoring Composite
Materials .
Due to its low cost and high elastic modulus, silicon carbide is the filler most
commonly used to reinforce metals. SiC is also used as an abrasive (e.g., in
sandpaper). There are numerous polymorphs of SiC, but the most common
polymorph is -SiC,which has a hexagonal crystal structure (similar towurtzite).A
less common polymorph is -SiC, which exhibits the zinc blende crystal structure.
Silicon carbide is available in particle and whisker forms. A whisker is a short
fiber that can be essentially a single crystal.

titaniumdiboride has a higher modulus but a
lower thermal conductivity (Table 6.2). The high
modulus makes titanium diboride a highly
effective reinforcing material. The addition of
TiB2 to a metal greatly increases the stiffness,
hardness and wear resistance and decreases the
CTE, while it reduces the electrical and thermal
conductivity much less than the addition of most
other ceramic fillers.

Instead of using an organic component in the form of particles, one can use an
organic component in the form of a liquid solution obtained by dissolving the organic
component in a solvent.
